Bell just tried shafting me!

[leekirlew]

Had a letter from bell this morning saying that my cup had previously been insured by me with elephant with declared mods, wtf?! It's totally standard and i've only had it 2 weeks!
I rang them and they tried telling me it had none standard alloys fitted and wanted to charge me £35! After some discussing they reckon I ran a quote on it with elephant and said it had none standard wheels fitted, bullshit! Just a caution.

I must admit they did give me pretty good price for the premium, but never had anything like this before!

have u maybe at some point asked for a quote to see what it wouild cost you to add wheels?

 

[leekirlew]

they did this with me, i told admiral i had a convition in october, but then insured with elephant and told them it was november. gave me 7 days to send a copy of my lic or they would cancel the policy

f**king insurance companies - they will try anything. We must be careful of these w*****s - norwich union tried it on with me about wheels as well

I was stood in the living room looking at the turinis on it practicarly arguing with him about it! Thing is i've never run a quote on a car with mods, so they were making that up aswell! PS How do I become a CS member?
